DVD Review

Spirit is a wild mustang stallion who lives free on the plains of the West. His early life is carefree but, as the American frontier keeps pushing towards the Pacific, he's faced by an increasing amount of dangers and it isn't long before he's penned up in a US fort, where a harsh Colonel (voiced by James Cromwell) is determined to break him.

Happily, fortune smiles on our four-legged hero and he's soon free. Unfortunately, it's case of out of the frying pan and into the fire when he's caught by a Native American who also wants Spirit as his horse.

While so many modern animated movies are packed to bursting with songs, comic sidekicks and over-the-top action, Spirit is far more laidback and boasts a more classical approach. Directors Kelly Asbury and Lorna Cook have crafted a film which should appeal for many years to come.
